Materials Data on PuB2 by Materials Project
PuB2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu6+ is bonded to twelve equivalent B3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing PuB12 cuboctahedra. All Pu–B bond lengths are 2.70 Å. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pu6+ and three equivalent B3- atoms. All B–B bond lengths are 1.82 Å.
